Ten parks, two countries, one careful route.
Uganda's forests and savannahs and Rwanda's volcanic north — reachable in a single itinerary.
The Pearl of Africa.
Six parks that between them hold half the world's mountain gorillas, four of the Big Five, and 1,090 bird species.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
A UNESCO World Heritage rainforest cloaking the Albertine Rift, Bwindi shelters roughly half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas. Zenvoy tracks four sectors — Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo — each with distinct terrain and family groups.

Queen Elizabeth National Park
Uganda's second-largest park spans the equator between Lake Edward and Lake George. Boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel, Ishasha's tree-climbing lions and Kyambura Gorge chimpanzees make it our most versatile game destination.
Safaris hereMurchison Falls
The Victoria Nile funnels through a seven-metre cleft with the force of an ocean. Above the falls, delta boat cruises deliver shoebills, hippos and elephants at the water's edge; below, the northern plains are prime Rothschild's giraffe country.

Kibale Forest
Thirteen primate species live inside 795 sq km of mid-altitude rainforest. Our morning trek finds habituated chimpanzee communities in under two hours; the full-day habituation experience takes you deeper, from nest to nest.

Lake Mburo National Park
The only park in Uganda with zebra and impala, and one of the few where you can walk with a ranger among giraffe and eland. A perfect one-night pause between Kampala and the gorillas.
Safaris hereLand of a Thousand Hills.
Compact, orderly, spectacular. Three hours from Kigali to the gorillas.
Volcanoes National Park
Five volcanoes crowning the Rwandan side of the Virungas hold twelve habituated gorilla families, plus golden monkeys endemic to these bamboo slopes. Reachable within three hours of Kigali — the fastest gorilla trek on the continent.
